Police searching a home in Marstons Mills where Yarmouth Police Officer Sean Gannon was shot in the head and killed last month found hidden disassembled parts to a semiautomatic handgun, two live rounds of ammunition in a toilet, shell casings in the attic, and $25,000 in cash hidden in a bedroom wall, prosecutors said.
They also found $4,000 in cash on Thomas Latanowich, a career criminal who is charged with murdering Officer Gannon, according to MassLive.com.
Some self-described socialist candidates running within the Democratic Party "advocate more extreme changes, such as abolishing the prison system," the New York Times reports.
Sure enough, the Boston Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has a "Prison Abolition Working Group" that meets monthly. The national DSA Twitter account has tweeted "we need to abolish the prison system." A resolution favoring the abolition of prisons reportedly passed last year at the DSA's annual convention.
